I'm very strongly in faviour of tagging with Wikidata IDs; see my
project proposal, at:

   https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Pigsonthewing/Wikipedia

but the level of understanding needed presents a high barrier to entry.

I think we should continue to allow editors to tag with links to
Wikipedia articles, but have the editing tool, or a bot, convert the
tag to one with the equivalent Wikidata ID (or perhaps add a Wikidata
tag, leaving the Wikipedia tag in situ).
